WINDOW-CURTAIN FIXTURE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 611,141, dated September 20, 1898.

Application filed March 25, 1897. Serial No. 629,163. (No model.)

T0 at whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM W. PHILIPS, a citizen of'the United States of America, residing at Glenshaw, in the-county of Allegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in VVindow-Ourtain Fixtures, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in window-curtain fixtures, and may bemore particularly described as an adjustable blind-fixture, and has for its object to construct a novel blind support which may be readily adjusted to conform to the different widths of the blinds or windows; and to this end the invention consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more specifically described,and particularly pointed out in the claim.

In describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying drawings, forminga part of this specification, and wherein like letters of reference indicate similar parts throughout the several views,in which Figure 1 is a front elevation of a portion of the window, showing my improved blind-fixture in position. Fig. 2 is a front view of the support and the curtain attached thereto, a portion 01": the parts being broken away. Fig. 3 is a perspective of the supporting-plates, the connecting-rod being shown as broken away.

Z Z represent segmental plates, which are connected by the pole m, which is screwthreaded at each of its ends, and on these -screw-threaded ends are placed the nuts n,

upon each end of the rod 'm, and these nuts are arranged upon opposite sides of the plates Z for the purpose of holding them rigidly in position. By adjusting these nuts '11 the plates Z can be adjusted laterally in relation to each other. This rod brand its attachments are supported by means of cords, chains, or wires h,which are connected thereto by means of the staples g. In order to steady these plates Z Z, I have provided them at their opposite ends with the lugs Z Z, which extend in opposite directions and which lugs are adapted to rest against the window-frame. One of these plates is provided with a round aperture 0 and the other with an angular one o, and in these apertures the rod 0 of the blind or curtain cZ' catches in the usual manner. The two plates form adjustable supports for window blinds or curtains of different widths, and which plates are adapted to be applied to any window-frame.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a window-blind fixture, the two semicircular plates Z, provided with projecting lugs at their ends, and the rod in for connecting the two plates, the heads being screw-threaded at their ends, and'provided with staples g, combined with the nuts it placed upon the ends of the rod, and between which the plates are clamped in position, and the curtain (Z which has the bearings of its rollers to pass through suitable openings in the plates, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I at'fix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
